Looking for a FOSS alternative to Google Docs for remote collaboration

Looking for a FOSS alternative to Google Docs for remote collaboration - Lemmy.World

A friend and I have a long running Pathfinder homebrew that we have collaborated on for nearly a decade in Google Docs. It is 168 pages long and represents a body of work that we are both incredibly proud of. With Google’s recent activities banning people from their own private documents, I no longer trust them with the document. I would love of LibreOffice supported local cloud hosting, but they do not. I could install Dropbox API on my Raspberries Pi and just set up my own cloud server, but I really don’t want to be responsible for the maintenance. Any FOSS software out there make it easy to do the whole private cloud with collaboration tools in word procrssing?

Minimum Mac to run Houdini

Minimum Mac to run Houdini - Lemmy.World

I am needing a Mac for testing HDAs that I am developing since they keep throwing errors when my boss tests them. I despise Apple as a corporation and will only use it for testing and compiling code, so it doesn’t need to do anything but run Houdini, not looking to render nor sim on it, just open houdini and verify that the Python works. I am looking at Macbook Airs since they are <200USD, but I need to verify that Houdini will even open on them.

Driving past a church and their sign hatched a plan.

Driving past a church and their sign hatched a plan. - Lemmy.World

So I am out with my family for Father’s Day and we passed a church who had: “What’s your favorite Bible verse? Post it on our Facebook.” And it got me to wondering how they would react if someone started posting all of the verses from their storybook that specifically call out the behavior of modern Christians. All the ones about welcoming immigrants and providing shelter and care for the poor, or deriding capitalism. Wonder what would happen if people did that en masse? I almost want to write a bot to go through and do it.

Family photo sharing? - Lemmy.World

My son was just born, and while a few photos will go on the likes of Facebook and Instagram, overall my partner and I are wanting to keep our shared photos private from the EULA abuses that we all know and hate. Does anyone here have any good suggestions? I would create my own front end, but I can’t swing hosting or a static IP to do it from my local box. Are there any companies out there who aren’t total shit bags who claim immediate irrevocable license to all of my photos to do with whatever the fuck they please?
